This afternoon I gave a Harvard Applied Mechanics Colloquium. Here is the abstract, along with the slides. The slides themselves just serve as an outline of ideas. You can find original papers on our group website.
I am teaching advanced elasticity this semester. I have just written a google doc on my lecture on singular value decomposition of a homogeneous deformation. The PDF file of the doc is attached below
I have just taught an undergraduate course on thermodyanmics and written up my lectures as a book. The book is posted as a google doc. If you cannot access the google doc, here is a PDF file of the book. The following paragraphs describe my approach. I hope to hear about your experience with thermodynamics. Please leave your comments below. Please help me hear from more people by forwarding this post. Thank you.
I attach the slides of my talks at last week’s MRS meeting in Boston on two topics:
Fatigue-resistant stretchable materials
Integrated soft materials
Advances on these topics made by several groups break grounds and likely reach far. The available time limited my talks to recent works of my own group and collaborators. The slides may serve as a graphical reminder of papers to check out. Several recent reviews may help to connect to broad literature.
I will be teaching undergraduate thermodynamics in the Fall 2019. I am writing a google doc for the lectures and problems.
I now include this paper in my course on fracture mechanics.
The two slides intend to show the quantum mechancal origin of the surface energy. The slides suplement a course on Fracture Mechanics.

Last year we published a paper titled “Electromechanical Catastrophe”. I am planning to give a lecture on this topic in my course on Advanced Elasticity. The mathematics of catastrophe is old, but can be used more widely.
The Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences seeks applicants for a position at the tenure-track level in Advanced Bioelectronics, with an expected start date of July 1, 2018.
